It wasn’t Stalin’s priests that corrupted the Church. The Church was corrupted by heretic Marxist theologians who equated communist social theory with the teachings of Jesus regarding treatment of the poor and hostility to the rich and pompous. It should be added that a large percentage of these “theologians” were and are homosexuals. Vatican II resulted in the “tolerance” within the Church that allowed these vile heretics to dominate. Prior to Vatican II they would have been purged and thrown out of the temple. Stalin would be astonished if he saw how the Church self destructed.
Uh... It’s about the Russian Orthodox Church.
